We knew Houston had lost today. We wanted to get it, and somehow we did.
This, ... shows the fire of this team.
We were down in the game by a lot, but we still had that fire. We were rooting for him big time.
It was good to see him. I forget even what I said, but it was good to see him.
It's a great place to hit. You can see the ball well, and it definitely travels. It's a big park, but it definitely travels well.
It's a great honor. You're going to see good pitchers earlier, so it should make you better. You have to prepare yourself a little bit more, but that makes you that much better in the long run. Guys have that intensity early.
I know it sounds stupid and cliche, but I just want to get better. I want to keep improving.
I could care less if people talk about us or not. We know what we can do here. It's an exciting time for us.
It took us a little while, but we swung the bats well tonight.
The majority of the time with two strikes I'll choke up on the bat a little bit to try to stay as short as possible. It doesn't always work out like that, but that's the goal.
I don't really like the spotlight.
I didn't go up to the plate thinking, 'OK, my goal now is to get a hit'-I tried not to think about [the streak].
I didn't know what to expect coming to college. High school was pretty easy and I guess I expected college to be along the same route. It was just an overwhelming experience.
I'm definitely not the most graceful person out there. I've always been taught to play hard. I don't know how not to play hard. But for some guys it just looks easier. For me, it's not that natural.
